Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz will clash off today

<p>The<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-orleans-pelicans-t100705" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>New Orleans Pelicans</strong></a> played it safe with <strong>Zion Williamson </strong>during his first season in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a>. He was the first-overall pick and coming off an injury during his lone year at <strong>Duke University, </strong>so it was only normal to see them being cautious early on.</p>
<p>Williamson was held out for most of lastseason while getting his conditioning up and rehabbing his injured knee. He sat some back-to-backs and was on a strict minutes restriction, even when their season was on the line.</p>
<p>Now, Zion has a longer leash under coach <strong>Stan Van Gundy</strong>but the team continues to take it slowly with him. He’s clearly aspecial talent with MVP potential, so they won’t risk a career-jeopardizing injury so early on his journey as a professional.</p>

<h2>Karl Malone Rips Zion Williamson For ‘Getting Tired’</h2>
<p>Notably, Zion Williamson has <strong>looked gassed and tired</strong> from time to time, especially at the end of last season. Clearly, he still needs to make some strides and get in better shape to make the most of his potential and not risk injury, given his huge frame.</p>
<p>That’s why former<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/utah-jazz-t92560" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/utah-jazz-t92560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utah Jazz</a> star Karl Malone</strong> took a shot at him, claiming that he shouldn’t be getting tired at 21-years-old, saying that he should be averaging roughly 40 minutes per game at this point:</p>

<p><em><strong>“Zion needs to be averaging like 40 minutes per game… you’re a 21 year old kid… your a** shouldn’t be getting tired,”</strong></em> the legendary power forward said in an interview with the <em>‘Knucklehads’ </em>Podcast.</p>
<p>What’s crazy is that Zion Williamson is actually averaging <strong>32.8 minutes per game</strong>, while Karl Malone played just 30.0 minutes a night when he was his age. Still, he finished his career as the 2nd leading scorer in NBA history, so perhaps it’s too early to call out Zion just yet.</p>

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/utah-jazz-t92560" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Utah Jazz</strong></a>’s big <strong>Rudy Gobert</strong> has finally responded to <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/shaquille-oneal-roasts-rudy-gobert-again-in-a-hilarious-post-20210104-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shaquille O’Neal</strong></a>’s bad comments on him and his contract extension. Shaq was recently in an interview when he took a jab at Gobert, explaining that kids that average 11 points per game in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> could get $200 million in the future.</p>
<p>That was the beginning of that since Shaq didn’t stop there. The legendary center went on to continue roasting Gobert on social media. More recently, he shared an edit of him dunking the ball over Rudy Gobert with a huge caption to make it clear that there was no competition between them.</p>
<p>Shaq left a big message and made things escalate real quickly. This started as a fun comment in an interview but now things have gotten to the next level and Gobert isn’t happy with any of this.</p>

<h2>Rudy Gobert responds to Shaquille O’Neal’s trash-talking on social media</h2>
<p>The French star had enough of that and took to Twitter to express how he feels and the differences between him and the 4x NBA champion. He made it clear there was no beef and instead of throwing shade at other people, he celebrated everybody who finds success.</p>
<p><em>“There is no beef. If people wanna keep speaking negatively about me or keep discrediting what I do it’s on them and all that does is show who they are. I will always be happy for a brother beating the odds. And I’m gonna keep beating the odds.” Gobert wrote on Twitter.</em></p>

<p>It remains to be seen if Shaq will apologize or will continue the back and forth, which looks more likely, to be honest. The Big Diesel is known for roasting people like it’s nothing and he showed that once again.</p>
<p>This was something that could have been avoided and even though Gobert said there was no beef, this could be the start of something between these two. Shaq already had beef with JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard so this could be another modern big man to enter a feud with the former player-turned-analyst.</p>

Rudy Gobert fires back at Shaquille O'Neal's criticism over contract extension

Rudy Gobert fires back at Shaquille O'Neal's criticism over contract extension - Bolavip US

<p>Back in the day, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/how-many-rings-does-shaq-have--20201012-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shaquille O’Neal</strong> </a>was known around the world for being one of the <strong>most dominant athletes ever</strong>. He torched opposing defenses at will and locked down the best players in the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> NBA</a> in the other end of the floor.</p>
<p>Now, Shaq has become a bit infamous <strong>around the current generation of NBA players,</strong> as he’s made a mockery of them over and over, especially the big men, constantly taking shots at them and talking about how he would do way better than them.</p>
<p>And, as you may have heard recently, his latest victim is former Defensive Player of the Year<strong>Rudy Gobert, </strong>who just signed a max contract with the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/utah-jazz-t92560" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utah Jazz</a> </strong>franchise despite being far from an offensive factor.</p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>Shaq Says He Would Have Easily Dominated Gobert</h2>
<p>It all started when Shaq made an appearance on <strong>CBS Sports’ ‘All Things Covered’ </strong>podcast. He mocked Gobert by claiming that he was an inspiration to all the little hoopers out there because you could get $200 million averaging just 11 points:</p>
<p><em>“I’m not gonna hate, but this should be an inspiration to all the little kids out there. <strong>You average 11 points in the NBA, you can get $200 million. </strong>He’s got a great agent, and I’m happy for him and his family. With the new rules, you have a pot of money, you have to spend that money. I’m happy for him, but this is a moment for a lot of kids who think they can’t make it,”</em> Shaq said.<span></span></p>

<p>Then, rather than backpedal his comments or shy away from the controversy <em>The Big Aristotle</em> doubled down on his take by posting an edition of him and Gobert and<strong> predicting how their stats would look like:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“I would had 45 pts 16 rebound ten missed free throws in three quarters. He woulda had 11 pts four rebounds and fouled out in 3 quarters. I’m a G,</strong></em>” Shaq captioned a pic of him dunking over Gobert.</p>
<p>The worst part about this is that it might as well be true. No disrespect towards Gobert as he’s one of the best rim protectors in the league, but there haven’t been many people on earth<strong> who could match up vs. prime Shaquille O’Neal.</strong></p><p></p>

<p>NBA players agreed to travel to Orlando and attend the bubble to continue the season as long as they felt like they were <strong>given a fair chance to voice their concerns</strong> regarding social injustice and police brutality in the United States.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Most of them are feeling like, while they’re doing a great job of spreading awareness, they must do something different to inspire change. That’s why they’re trying to hold team owners accountable <strong>for not committing enough money and efforts to social justice initiatives.</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>NBA’s Board of Governors</strong> is also set to meet today at noon to decide which measures they’re willing to take to appease the situation but, as of now, the remainder of the season is in huge jeopardy.</p>

So, if you were looking around for all NBA teams and wondered what’s the Lakers mascot, the answer most likely would be<strong> Snoop Dogg or Jack Nicholson.</strong></p>

<h2>10. Clutch the Bear, Houston Rockets</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_clutch_houston_rockets_mascot.jpg_1030179834_87f24226.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He was named the NBA Mascot of the Year in 2013. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Clutch the Bear</strong> may not be the most entertaining among the mascots we’re about to mention. But, among all NBA mascots, he’s the only one who really thinks of the kids. He’s freaking adorable, and that’s why the <strong>Houston Rockets</strong> love him that much.</p>
<p>Kids just love Clutch the Bear, and even if he may seem kind of corny to some older fans, he was recently inducted into the<strong>Mascot Hall of Fame </strong>(yes, that’s a thing). His name comes from ‘Clutch City’, Houston’s nickname.</p>
<h2>9. Hooperthe Horse, Detroit Pistons</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_hooper_detroit_pistons_mascot.jpg_1030179834_5eec69c4.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He was trained to be a racehorse. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Detroit Pistons</strong> have one of the biggest, most loyal fanbases in the world, so they should be treated accordingly. That’s why the team introduced <strong>Hooper the Horse</strong> as their mascot in 1996.</p>
<p>Hooper stands outamong most basketball mascots because, as his name says, he actually hoops. He’s out there with the <strong>Flight Crew Dunking</strong> Teamat halftimeand always puts on a show. You wouldn’t expect those impressive dunks from such a goofy-looking mascot.</p>
<h2>8. Boomer, Indiana Pacers</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_boomer_indiana_pacers_mascot.jpg_1030179834_bf8c1719.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He’s also referred to as the ‘Pacers Panther’. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The<strong> Indiana Pacers </strong>have always been stuck in time. The aesthetics of the franchise has always favored an old-school, classic look, and Boomer is the prime example of it. Still, make no mistake, he’s not old-fashioned at all.</p>
<p><strong>Boomer</strong>is pretty much a dunking cat with Kawhi Leonard-ish hands(which is ironic considering the Pacers originally drafted Kawhi). He’s clumsy and goofy until it comes to flying high and doing a back-flip. Then, it can be kind of intimidating.</p>
<h2>7. Harry the Hawk, Atlanta Hawks</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_harry_the_hawk.jpg_1030179834_c2115753.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He reads bedtime stories online. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Harry the Hawk</strong> may be one of the most intimidating mascots in the league. I mean, he literally looks like he’s about to start a fight and it just gets worse when he takes flight to dunk the ball at halftime.</p>
<p>The <strong>Atlanta Hawks </strong>haven’t had many things to brag about over the past couple of years but now, they can always count on Trae Young and Harry the Hawk to put on a show. Hopefully, that’ll bring more fans to their games.</p>
<h2>6. Jazz Bear, Utah Jazz</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_utah_jazz_bear_mascot.jpg_1030179834_447aa2d4.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   <strong>He was introduced in 1994. (Getty)</strong>  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Picture yourself wandering around the mountains in Utah and then coming across with a 7-foot bear. Don’t worry, don’t be scared, it’s just <strong>JazzBear</strong>, the <strong>Utah Jazz</strong> mascot for over 26 years.</p>
<p>Jazz Bear is one of the most iconic basketball mascots of all time. <strong>He’s performed in over 800 home games</strong> and has been named NBA mascot of the year five times. Sadly, he’s also suffered a couple of injuries while performing.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Well, there aren’t many gorillas in Arizona, so, at first,<strong> Go the Gorilla </strong>makes absolutely no sense at all as the <strong>Phoenix Suns’</strong> mascot. Then again, it’s a mascot, it doesn’t have to make sense.</p>
<p>This gorilla is a never-ending source of energy and spark. He’s constantly goofing around, riding a bike, or posterizing imaginary enemies with his emphatic dunks. <strong>There’s nothing not to like about him.</strong></p>

<p>No one lives up to the name ‘Champ’ more than the <strong>Dallas Mavericks </strong>mascot. He constantly put on a show during the Mavericks’ <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/the-top-10-nba-teams-of-the-last-decade-20200722-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1</a>.52. and hasn’t missed a beat ever since, becoming one of the most popular basketball mascots in the world.</p>
<p><strong>Champ</strong>is an anthropomorphic horse (obviously, they’re the Mavericks) who dunks on people and wants everybody to get loud on their seats. Halftime shows arealways full of entertainment with him and <strong>Mavs Man.</strong></p>
<h2>3. The Raptor, Toronto Raptors</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_toronto_raptors_mascot.jpg_1030179834_ce191400.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He’s a dunking velociraptor.

<p></p></div>
<p>I mean, what’s cooler than a dinosaur? <strong>The Raptor </strong>brings out that kid inside us andthat’s just great. He’s a bit of a badass but he’s also adorable, especially when kids are around. Also, <strong>TorontoRaptors</strong> fans are just great.</p>
<p>He’s widely popular for his ‘eating people’ skits and,of course, his beef with <strong>Robin Lopez.</strong> On a not-so-positive note, he tore his Achilles tendon while performing a backflip during a preseason game, so he was in crutches for most of the 2013-14 season.</p>
<h2>2. Bango, Milwaukee Bucks</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_bango_milwaukee_bucks.jpg_1030179834_eef2e7a5.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   <strong>Bango was introduced in 1977.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Bango</strong> is one of the funniest mascots in all sports. This Deer has been around the league for over 40 years, making him one of the most recognizable figures in all basketball. He’s been there longer than several franchises.</p>
<p>This mascot was born to ‘replace’ <strong>Kareem Abdul-Jabbar</strong> following his departure to the Los Angeles Lakers, and while <strong>Milwaukee Bucks </strong>fans would much rather keep Kareem, he’s become an integral part of their culture.</p>
<h2>1. Benny the Bull, Chicago Bulls</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200806_BUS_163370_benny_the_bull.jpg_1030179834_581e1251.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   He’s been the Bulls’ mascot for over 50 years.

<p></p></div>
<p>And, obviously, <strong>Benny the Bull </strong>has to be the ultimate mascot. He takes place on pretty much every single major event in Chicago, is constantly shouting out other teams and mascots, gets into fights with the<strong> Chicago Bulls’</strong> rivals, and is the goofiest guy ever.</p>
<p>Benny is constantly giving away presents after <strong>spilling giants bags of popcorn</strong>. He’s also quite the dunker and can often be seen putting on a show in halftime. He became famous during <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-25-greatest-players-in-Chicago-Bulls-history-20200703-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the <strong>Michael Jordan </strong>era</a> and continues to lead all NBA mascots.</p>
